## Summary

The procurement process is led by the Department for Education, seeking a Commissioner for Children's Services in Stoke on Trent. This tender, classified under the Education and Training Services category, is currently active and employs a selective procurement method via a dynamic purchasing system. The tender period closes on 15th April 2019, with the contract expected to commence on 6th May 2019 and last until 9th August 2019. The estimated value of the contract is £41,280, and the delivery will occur in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialising in social care transformation and educational services. Companies capable of navigating complex political landscapes and demonstrating a track record in improving services for vulnerable children will find themselves well positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, particularly those with experience in collaborative partnerships with local authorities.

## Notice

The Commissioner will play a high profile role in a challenging political and delivery environment. He or she will bring extensive and proven skills in children's social care transformation to deliver a robust assessment as to how improvements to services for the most vulnerable children can best be secured within the local context. In doing so, the Commissioner will set expectations for how services might best be delivered outside of council control, leading and brokering relationships with senior council leaders and their partner organisations. Alongside this, the Commissioner will direct work to secure urgent improvements to ensure that children in the Authority are safe.
